8 Essential Questions to Ask Before Taking Prescription Drugs

“I’m doing physical therapy. Why do I still need my pain meds?”

Physical therapy can be really painful, but the result will help you to manage your pain. “Medications can help facilitate physical therapy and alleviate the process of inflammation that can trigger during a physical therapy session,” says Anita Gupta, DO, a board-certified anesthesiologist and pain specialist.

 

“What are some common side effects of taking pain meds?”

Side effects are different from person to person. They can manifest as weight gain, nausea or fatigue. Most people have less issues, but you better ask you doctor what you could experience after you take your meds. “For example, short-acting pain medications, meant to be used for a short duration of time, can lead to a rebound pain effect if taken for too long,” says Dr. Allen. “Some medications can also cause digestive issues, liver problems and impaired adrenal function.”
